Stacey Ervin on handling grief & depression

Horizontal bar: methods, ideas, curiosities, history

I finally got my hands on a copy of the latest book (2015) in a series by these two expert authors: István Karácsony and Ivan Čuk.

It’s not a comprehensive manual on how to coach H Bar, but rather a collection of information and sport science research.

Best for me is the introduction and history of the apparatus. A list of Olympic and World champions. A history of some of the named skills:

• Peter Kovacs (HUN)
• etc.

Price is 15 euros but I’m not completely sure where you can purchase it.
